Coming Soon: Beer on the Vine & I-X Beer Fest

by Renee on April 23, 2012

This weekend brings beer lovers to one of Northeast Ohio’s favorite wineries, Chalet Debonné Vineyards, for their annual Beer on the Vine event. Located in Madison, Ohio about an hour east of Cleveland, Chalet Debonné Vineyards is one of the largest and most diverse estate wineries in Ohio. It’s also the first Ohio winery to open up a micro-brewery, one I’ve written about before: Cellar Rats Brewery.

Beer on the Vine kicks off this Friday, April 27, from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door; $17 pre-sale.

The event includes 12 samples of beer from five area breweries along with food pairings, and every patron receives a commemorative tasting glass.

Breweries include: Cellar Rats Brewery – Madison

Cornerstone Brewing Company – Madison

Fat Heads Brewery – North Olmstead

The Brew Kettle – Strongsville

Thirsty Dog Brewery – Akron

There will be cellar tours of Cellar Rats Brewery and Debonné Vineyards Wine Cellar and Bottling Facility and you can talk with the brewers themselves about their hand crafted products. Live music starts at 7 p.m. and features Hatrick. Call 440-466-3485 to order your tickets in advance.
